Born into a family ;
A family of abuse
A home of domestic violence
a reverse was the case
Mom beating dad;
sounds impossible
but it is
so he ran
i saw myself ;
being beat up by a man I married
looks like father to child
I also ran
I laid down;
and then he touched me
my heart raced
i opened my eyes;
he took me in
shocked I moved
a tale he began
truly it was my father;
and a tale I began;
I wept, he wept
Seeing his lost daughter;
Seeing my lost father
hope at last
